I spent this past monday evening with the Girlscouts::: playing with paperclay, making snowmen with whimsical faces and lots of glitter

I had learned this amazingly simple technique from Terri Brush, and thanks to my good friend April's networking skills we were able to pay it forward and bring it to the girls Loved being surrounded by the goodness of it all, thank you April for once again for such a brilliant connection, Shar the Girlscout Leader and the Pink Pineapple for providing the play space

This past weekend we gathered together to raise money for the 3 day walk:::

what a blessing it was to have the love and support of all the vendors, friends and family.

Women are powerful especially when we connect - I love all the great inspirational women I have met in my journey to grow as an artist and to bring awareness in the community.

Thank you ladies for your selfless giving and kindness it is priceless and very much appreciated;)
